We are not alone

I want to start this blog about my father. I didn't know about this story till several years ago because I was very young when all this happened. Well let me tell you a story about my father first

He had a steady job right before married to my mother, several years after I was born. He decide to run little business on the side. It was nothing big and I have little recollection of what was going on. But the business went under after half year and he got himself into a situation which was pretty bad. Not only he must sells his business or close it down. He also got himself into some financial problems. Also want to remind you that he is the first born in the family, this failure does play a big factor in his life. He didn't ask any help from his parents because of the shame and disappointment he expected from his parents. But his situation didn't get better over the time. He was very desperate and the only way out is to seek help from my grandparents. He picked the date to pay a visit to my grandfather and he was going through his mind numerous times how to ask my grandfather, what would he said, would he be disappointed, would he be mad, what would he response. As you can tell this was eating him alive from inside. Okay he finally sat down with my grandfather, before he asked. My grandfather handed him a check and said "next time if you are having trouble you can always come to me first" Simple as that, my grandfather didn't even want to hear any explanation, or anything. He just simply understood and helped my father out at this desperate moment.

To conclude this story, our parents were once in desperate situation before, worse or better than the one you are going through. They knew exactly how it felt when pushed or been corned and knowing there is no way out. At that moment may be someone helped them out or they found some way to dig themselves out. It doesn't matter if they got help or not. The thing that matters is they knew exactly how desperate you are and they would refuse to let that happen to you. So it doesn't matter where you are, where you from, what kind of race you are. When you need help, you can always count your family in first. It doesn't matter if they can help you or not, they will always be there for you. So you, if you are desperate, you are not alone, someone is out there for you. Don't be afraid, don't feel lonely, even you have been corned and there is always way out. There is always help on the way, the only things stand in between way out and continued to be corned are your own pride and ego.
